The TTB has arrived! So big, so many teas… no chance to try them all!
Tea #24

Well, I don’t know what monks drink, but apparently I am not a monk myself as I have found this tea rather disappointing.

It was coppery and metallic black tea base with some, generic, fruity tea. If I am not mistaken, it should be grenandine; but for me it was just a little tart red fruit. But it was also somehow woody, oak wood to be bit more descriptive… and well, honestly in a conclusion, not great tea.

I have finished it, but nothing I have to re-try.

Preparation
205 °F / 96 °C 4 min, 0 sec 2 tsp 10 OZ / 300 ML

About 12 years ago I tried a couple of Monk’s Blend teas and felt the same as you.

(Smiling nostalgically) Once upon a time in the 90’s, Culinary Teas was one of the few online retailers with a sizeable selection, and this was one of my favorites. Of course, I hadn’t met you folks who upped the game for me ;)

I am drinking almost everything. Tea bag collector who moved to wonderful world of loose leaf.

Trying to rate differently tea bags and loose leaf as tea bags have usually worse quality.

Photographer now and then. Postcrossing and geocaching member. Very curious person. Logistics student (should finish in June 2021).

Buried in tea right now. Is in my cupboard (trying to be updated) which sparkled your interest? Write me, I would gladly share with you. But I don’t want anything in return now :)
